Day 1

Today was short since I didn't start my challenge until almost 4pm.  I feel like I don't know what I am doing yet.  I was able to enjoy some family time before Matt cooked dinner.  I feel like that shouldn't count.  Today was like a weekend day for most everyone else, since Matt was home to help me with the kids.

It wasn't a normal day by any means, which is why there should be a schedule, including one for days that Matt is home (weekend or Tuesdays) and weird days when there are doctors appts.  I took Ethan to the doctor for his eczema which is out of control and Matt went to his own doctor's appt. and took Jonathan with him.  We met afterwards at an imprompu visit to the Aviation museum.  Kids had a blast, but we exceeded our cash for the rest of the week and had to dip into my birthday money.  I have had this money in my wallet for exactly a month today.  I guess that's what I get for still having it anyway.  Both kids took a nap when we got home and I was able to start this challenge during their naptime.

After they woke up I felt a little confused though... For some reason I didn't have the overwhelming urge to clean or create "order" at all.  It was cold, I wanted to watch TV with my kids on the couch, but NOooooo!  My power went out!  I guess maybe God was trying to get me off of my donkey and back on the horse.  You know the horse the goes by the name of "Mommy" (at the top of someone's lungs).

I have cleaned my kitchen, didn't like it at all, but it is done and now I am going to my bed to read my bible reading plans outloud to Matt.  I want to just go to sleep, since I have to get up at 5:45 and go to my second job, where I pretend to be a nurse while serving patients with "excellent" care :)

On to Day 2...
